TKMS and General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada agreed to an industrial cooperation under the Canadian Defence & Dual-Use Innovation Ecosystem (CDDE) to establish an undersea research and development centre called Arctic Sentinel. It will be focused on advancing underwater surveillance technologies designed specifically for the Arctic environment. Based on General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada’s technical expertise in complex sonar integration and advanced undersea sensing, this collaboration is positioned to serve as an integral contribution to TKMS’s bid for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP).
Arctic Sentinel aims at strengthening Canada’s ability to monitor and protect its Arctic maritime domain by accelerating the development of advanced, limateresilient undersea sensing capabilities. The centre will focus on driving the transition from prototype to operational capability, supporting Arctic readiness while fostering innovation within Canada’s defence ecosystem.
